Scoring decisions for transparency. None of the decisions made had any ultimate affect on Team results, High scorer results on each team, or anyones Eligibility to be a prospect next season.
Treated Mania as two shows, gave Gronk, Mojo, and Paul Heyman benefited from dual appearance points.
Treated the Owens/Rollins segment as a "Restart" not an owens win via DQ then a second Owens win via Pin
Only gave "Hosts" points once for appearance - Gronk, Titus
Only Gave Gronk, Titus, R-truth points for 24-7 title segments - second night there was a crowd
By all accounts the Boneyard match, and MORE So the firefly match could be legally argued as non-matches. I dont even know if a winner was declared for the funhouse match - but I scored both as single matches, with stipulation bonuses.
anyway - if you guys think I botched anything - we got plenty of time to debate it. I would say leagues on hold until at minimum they have full roster live shows, even if no audience.
If GO sets his lineup, he beats Farn in the semis and I win the league... would it have been tainted with the heavy hitters behind me, probably, but some titles you just so happen to slip and fall into - ill get mine eventually.

Congrats to Farn on this whacked out season.
Thanks R$ for all the work and single handedly carrying us across the finish line..and sorry I let you and me down... although i do project had i made the final I would have made a move or two, or atarted Zayn... and might have scored more.... so that SHOULD help you sleep at night.
That said, a break will be good for all.
Might be the perfect time to do our first conplete redraft since Season 1... whenever that day comes. Were a lot of picks traded this year?

Congrats to Farn. Thanks to R Money for all the scoring work and the details that I have been missing from this league for a long time (free agent leaders, etc)
I'd like to point out, even though I finished 5th I had the best playoff score. Watch out boys, I will be back.
Though I feel stacked with 3 good keepers and possibly the #1 pick (idk?) - I would be open to a full reboot/redraft. At least as a tribute to the beginnings of this league and all the great managers no longer with us. Maybe invite Species, Mike D etc to a ceremonial post where they throw in a few words.
Mania wasn't bad at all considering everything going on right now. I am grateful for what they gave us this weekend.

Appreciate the kind words.
Perhaps during down time we can discuss ways the members would like to improve? Ive been on the record of including NXT and AEW. Debates aside AEW is virtually a 4th brand of the best wrestling in the world.
Also considering the fact that the past 3-4 seasons and possibly many more, playoffs might not be the best fit, often like this year, 5th and 6th have strong showings rivaling first and second. Originally I was trying to think of a ROTO way to do things with categories like promos, wins, matches, main events, etc; but perhaps a NASCAR approach? 3 to 5 multi week "Races" with points given out based on finish - and if you lead a "week" it can be similar to "lead a lap" bonus? this way a second half strong showing isnt limited to a 5th place ceiling.
Clearly lack of sports has me over thinking.

That, or something like top 5 make playoffs and all compete against each other in a 5 way points ladder match to the finish. Bottom 3 do a triple threat for the #1 draft pick. I think we're on the right trail, just maybe a few slight tweaks to make it more interesting.

Thanks fellas. Happy to snag a title even in this strange year. Hat tip to GO for his help during the draft since at that point I had barely seen the product in months.
I'm up for a full redraft if everyone else is. Chance to reshuffle the full deck.
I'd be against AEW scoring, mainly because I've never seen a show and I don't see that changing. I have enough trouble keeping up with 2 WWE shows and PPVs plus trying to know who's in NXT for future pickups.
I like that ladder match idea although I'd probably keep it to the top 4 and bottom 4. My biggest complaint with pro sports is how many make the playoffs. To me it waters down the leagues. I'd rather reward the best teams with playoff spots.

Feeling the itch to do an all time draft for fun... i.e. 1st round Rock, Hogan, Flair etc.
Maybe we can get some all timers to participate like Species. Or at least judge the best team at the end.

I like the idea of an all-time draft. Something to take our minds off of viruses and everything that they bring.
